Left Occiput Transverse (LOT)

Baby’s bottom is in your upper left unless the uterus leans towards the right.

The feet are clearly in your upper right.

Feet may sometimes go across the top or be felt as low as the navel – but still far to the right.

Hands may wiggle on your lower right only occasionally, if at all.

The lower left half of your belly is quiet (except for occasional hiccoughs).

Mom can feel baby’s hand wiggle on her right belly only, just a few times each day.

LOT Engagement– Baby’s head engages shortly before the due date with first-time pregnancies. – Engagement may or may not happen before labor with experienced mothers. – Contractions will work to engage baby in labor. – The head may feel low, making pressure twinges on your cervix and upper thigh. – Your provider can easily hear the heartbeat left and center.
